Should you check your blood sugars two hours after main meal?
I generally used longer needles (8mm) than are used these days, so I often pinched up.should you pinch your stomach before injecting insulin or is it flat Against the stomach.
The dose would act far more quickly than expected, risking hypoglycaemia, and would likely hurt more?What if you inject the insulin into the muscle instead of fat by mistake?
Surprisingly it was after I'd gained weight I hit muscle in my thigh with a 4mm needle and had injected as normal like I'd been doing for years so it can happen xxxxUnless you are really skinny you would really have to be going some to hit muscle with a 4mm needle
Novorapid takes ~30 minutes to start to act and lasts for about 4 hours. (The times vary between individuals, and for time of day, and injection site. But it's not instant and it sticks around.) So the goal is to try and inject at the right time for the meal so we don't go too high and (of course) to inject the right amount so (after the ~4 hours) we've covered the meal and are roughly level.I needed to know what level my sugar level were After dinner as thought it be the highest level that why I take novarapid then.
It sounds like the reason is that your insulin regime is not suiting what your body needs to keep your blood glucose at a reasonable level. You should discuss a review of your regime with your diabetic team to try to get better management.my sugar levels always been to high find very difficult to control them and I only had one low sugar level since 2007
